Is it me, or has Joe Biden aged worse than Obama has over the last four years? You really notice it in his eyes. They look almost smaller.

Tipping His Canoe into the Race

It seems as though Jack Markell might have a primary opponent. Magnolia resident Doug Beatty, whose only claim to fame is being the son of actor Ned Beatty, has announced that he is going to challenge Markell in the Democratic primary. That is if he can raise the filing fee.

In what has to be the biggest understatement of the year, Beatty said that he is “an extreme long shot” but thinks he can win if he can get on the ballot. I think he’s watched The Candidate too many times. His run is more like the wet dream Bobby had in Deliverance.

And like any “new age” parent, Governor Markell would prefer us all to take a time out and talk nicely to child, rather than yelling at him and punishing him.

It’s Not a Flip-Flop If You Get It Right

What is the definition of a flip-flopper?

It’s interesting to explore the origin of the term. Famed New York Times columnist William Safire wrote about a U.S. politician in the late 19th century who was refereed to as “the Florida flopper” by an opponent. Safire noted that the “fl” sound appearing twice […]
